[Bug 540490] Re: liferea should be added to the indicator applet

[Ken VanDine]

Slightly modified patch, this includes a launcher to embed in the
messaging menu so liferea can be launched directly from the menu and
specified a minimum version for the libindicate-dev build-depends.

A couple comments on the actually behavior:
 * I noticed while it was refreshing the icon would keep changing color, kind of flickering.  I suspect this is because draw-attention is being set on it as the feeds are being refreshed.  
 * I don't think liferea should set draw-attention at all, the intention of that is for important messages that need somewhat immediate attention.  I think of RSS feeds as rather passive, read them when you can as opposed to an IM that might require a response within a few minutes.  Setting draw-attention everytime liferea refreshes will make that property less effective for IMs, calls, emails, etc.

Binary package hint: liferea

Just as gwibber, pidgin, empathy and evolution, liferea should be held available in the indicator applet because it clearly belongs to the communication/news department as well. It would be nice to see the count of unread messages, to be able to activate the window or to start the application.
